It's been a topsy turvy week for Grand Theft Auto fans. The headline news was mainly focussed on several 'leaks' that claimed to be the first look images of GTA 6. As you might expect, fans were treated to some blurry, off-center images which showed practically no details whatsoever. You might liken it to just concept art. But the truth is, it was nothing more than big fat fakes, with fans eventually discovering that one of the images - of a man from behind - was actually from another piece of work. If you want to know more. Simply follow the link for more details courtesy of YouTuber MrBossFTW. There was another image too, intended to look like early gameplay, but again, from what we can tell there's several factors which make you want to divebomb into the biggest pile of salt to even consider the image being real. So, that's the bad news for Rockstar fans this week, we suppose. But don't worry there is more news that gives Rockstar fans a reason to be cheerful. Unfortunately, it's … [Read more...] about Rockstar Games next project confirmed, but it won’t be GTA 6

The latest game in the most obnoxious of all the looter shooters out there, Borderlands 3, releases today in some territories. Because developer Gearbox hates doing things the easy way, it's decided to roll out the game in a staggered way by region and platform that is, frankly, migraine-inducing to look at. We've done our best to cut through the chaff and give you the facts to tell you, in essence, when you'll be able to play the game today. If you're on console, you'll be able to play at midnight tonight in your region. The only difference is US players in the Pacific time zone, who will get the game 3 hours earlier because of the time difference across the US. Lucky you! PC time zones, for some reason, are different – the game will fo live for everyone all at the same time (but UK players, it's still going to be midnight for us I'm afraid). You can see the weirdly staggered release time on PC below: September 12, 2019 - 16:00 PDT September 12, 2019 - 19:00 EDT September 12, … [Read more...] about Borderlands 3 releases tonight on consoles, PC

News by Press Association 12/09/2019, 2:43 pm Send us a story Sign up to our Daily newsletter Nintendo has unveiled what its mystery new bendy ring device is for and it is all for a game called Ring Fit Adventure. The game aims to get players on their feet and moving with Ring-Con and Leg Strap accessories, which work with the two existing controls on the Nintendo Switch console. Users will not need to press buttons, instead the ring is able to sense and react to movements, turning physical force into powerful attacks against virtual enemies. The Leg Strap senses movements of the lower body, such as jogging on the spot, which will enable players to move their character forward onscreen. Squeezing in on the Ring-Con will create a blast of air, while moving it downwards will enable users to jump, for example. When encountering an enemy in the game, players will need to carry out so-called fit skills to defeat them, such as a squat or a yoga activity. Nintendo … [Read more...] about Nintendo reveals details behind bendy ring accessory for Switch

Later today the Modern Warfare Beta will get underways, allowing Call of Duty fans to get their first taste of the games true multiplayer experience. Sure, the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Alpha might have been fun, with its unique 2v2 mode, but it doesn't quite mimic the real CoD multiplayer experience we've come to know and love. Today's beta is only available to PS4 players who have pre-ordered ahead of time. But, the game will also become available to the wider PlayStation 4 users in a couple of days from 14th-16th September as part of an open-beta. However, one thing that's not been entirely clear up until now is whether the game would require PlayStation Plus. Even on Activision's own blog, it states that "PlayStation®Plus may be a requirement in some territories." And the PlayStation EU Blog post from this week was equally vague. Thankfully, the official Call of Duty Modern Warfare Open Beta on the PlayStation store has set the record straight. In a passage from the … [Read more...] about PS Plus September Boost as Modern Warfare Beta comes to PS4

But Activision wants to make sure you’ve got plenty of time to test of the amazing new features before the game launches on October 25, 2019. Try to contain your excitement – because the Modern Warfare beta for early access players is about to go live. But this time around it is just PS4 players who can join in on the fun.

The Modern Warfare PS4 Early access beta is likely to start at 6pm BST today. But pre-load is already available, so make sure you have 42GP of space and get downloading. This Beta is sadly not available for all players – but that time will come. This time around only players who made a digital pre-order, or pre-ordered the game … [Read more...] about What time does the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Beta start?
